Friday opener?

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

Has anyone mentioned Muse or AC/DC yet?

[AbuHamster]

Are people actually being serious? The strokes, Blur..... It's much more likely (if it even happens) to be a razorlight (they've reformed right?) or bloc party.

Rayzorlite are playing a whole long list of shit village fete type festivals with loads of pop acts. ]

THEY HAVE FINALLY FOUND THEIR LEVEL!!!

[changingman67]

Really hope that it is the charlatans - I'm sure Tim burgess had tweeted for Emily to give him a call - sounds promising.

New album is excellent.

[Tyonks]

Not a huge fan of Kaiser Chiefs generally, but quite enjoyed them as the opener last year. Perky songs. Eased me in. (Not in a sexual way of course)

[Gucci Piggy]

Bastille.

And if that Kooks secret JP slot is there again; The Wombats.

[The Placid Casual]

Bastille.

And if that Kooks secret JP slot is there again; The Wombats.

I'm gonna stay in Pennards Hill instead of Oxlyers out of fear of hearing Bastille's set by accident now.

[Spindles]

You can still hear from there. Seems there is an advantage to Worthy view after all.

[FuzzyDunlop]

The chance of it being someone like Bastille is the main reason I'd be somewhere with a clear escape route. I couldn't be near the front, because as the banner dropped, I'd have to leave.

[deadpheasant]

it's prince

[Matt42]

Bastille sounds likely.. Especially since they will be releasing new material this summer

[RossTC]

Ocean Colour Scene. That would make my ball bag fall off in excitement. I'd leave it there on the floor too.

Bloody hell i'd love it to be them!!

[eFestivals]

But the Kaisers were a last minute replacement, it was meant to be Lorde, who played Brixton Academy the month before.

That's not correct. Lorde was going to guest with someone (I forget who).

[eFestivals]

The Charlatans are a good shout, active, new material and would be a sound choice

I believe the Charlatans are playing on the Friday, but I'm also pretty sure they're not the secret act.

[Mezhyp1]

That's not correct. Lorde was going to guest with someone (I forget who).

Wasn't it Arcade Fire?

That'd be like genocide in Oxlyers being awoken on Thursday aftermorning by Bastille, that's a sufferance comparable to 5 more years of the eton puff adders in power

[tom22]

The Hives would be ideal, gap in schedule & they are playing in London the week after. They were the second band I saw at my first Glasto (2013) and the best live performance I've seen there in either 2013 or 2014.

NGHFB would be good, I enjoyed Kaiser Chiefs more than I thought I would last year and singing along to some Oasis classics in 2013 wasn't a bad way to start the week even if LG is a knob.

I quite like Bastille too but doesn't seem to be a popular option on here for some reason.

[evilduck]

The last two have been rubbish, so I will expect someone equally as rubbish and not get my hopes up.

[kaisherz]

I quite like Bastille too but doesn't seem to be a popular option on here for some reason.

Because they're gash.

I have a sneaky about Muse being there somewhere over the weekend. Maybe Libs. NGHFB wouldn't surprise me as he seems to be missing when his mates Roger and Paul are closing the festy.

*EDIT* Again.... It WILL probably not be any of the aforementioned, and indeed be someone super pants

Several people have stated that last year Kaiser Chiefs filled in for Lorde?

Is this fact or speculation?

Anyone have a theory on how the "secret" sets of years past i.e. Pulp/Radiohead have been scrapped and now we get a past it Judge off the voice? I know safety was an issue for The Park etc but couldn't someone as equally big play The Other on a Friday?

Harsh i know, i used to love Kaiser Chiefs in 2005.

[FloorFiller]

Lorde was definitely supposed to be at Glastonbury - she tweeted about how devastated she was that she couldn't make it - but nobody's sure in what capacity. there were stories that she was the Other opener, and also some that she was supposed to appear with Arcade Fire at some point. both are possibly true. it being Kaiser Chiefs, a band already playing the festival, on that very day, definitely suggests that somebody bailed last minute and they had to ask an already booked act to fill in

[Likearollingstone]

Yeah you're probably right that all seems logical, thanks.

We thought it might've been The Libertines last year and that they'd gone awol.

[Gucci Piggy]

not on the poster yet.....still more to be confirmed then?

Tonnes more.

[JBarbour]

Good news. Any idea which stage? I'd assume third or fourth down on Other

Following its in noble traditions I am expecting the Enemy.

(Maximo Park is my hopefull guess, doing their first album in full)

i'm not expecting it to be anybody great, but i'm definitely expecting it to be somebody with a bit of hype surrounding them / something SOME people will get excited about - if it's gonna be somebody shite, it'll be somebody recently shite. Beady Eye was big because of Liam, Kaisers because of their sudden boost in popularity. imagine if The Enemy or Maximo Park walked out - mass evacuation of the Other field

I fully expect to be derided for this, but I really enjoyed their first album and would be fairly happy with them opening the festival
